Review Comparative Study
Systematic review: comparison of the quality of medical care in Veterans Affairs and non-Veterans Affairs settings.
The Veterans Health Administration, the nation's largest integrated delivery system, launched an organizational transformation in the mid 1990 s to improve the quality of its care. ⋯ Studies that assessed recommended processes of care almost always demonstrated that the VA performed better than non-VA comparison groups. Studies that assessed risk-adjusted mortality generally found similar rates for patients in VA and non-VA settings.
